Last Friday, April 23, was the end of the fifth grading period! This means there is only one grading period left for our seniors to finish credits, tie up loose ends and get started with our summer!
Speaking of grading periods, the Silver level award movie (for Gold and Silver level students as well as bronze with 100-percent attendance) also was shown on April 23. The movie was “Avatar” and we hope the students enjoyed themselves, they certainly earned it!
On a sad note, our bingo night was canceled. We would still like to thank all of the businesses that donated to our cause: Girlfriends Salon, Clearlake Bait and Tackle, Finest Nails, 2Goombas Deli, the Elegant Touch Salon, Four Corners Hardware, U.S. Cellular, Kevin Ness Jewlers, Aloha Bay Candle Shop, Tower Mart, Safeway, Rays Food Place, Wal-Mart and Finest Nails.
Spirit week went great! Everyone had a great time and really got into the Carlé spirit. First, we had reggae day on Monday. We had an apple bobbing competition and Mr. Maes' advisory won with Lucas Powell literally diving headfirst and grabbing all the apples!
Next, we had an obstacle course with Verna's advisory taking the lead thanks to Kayellia Lansdowne, George Vierra and Ryan Cumpston. And finally all the advisories came together to play a game of fleet ball, with no winner, just for fun.
Tuesday, we had nerd day. We played “chubby bunny” and Bianca Frias won with 26 marshmallows! Itally Heart came in second just behind Bianca. We also played “find the glasses” and Nick Ford and Dylan Sheldon won that game. Lastly, we had a card house building contest with Kathy Moreno from Verna's advisory winning.
The next day we held a race won by Verna's advisory with Keilana Jackson and George Vierra being the victors!
Thursday was 80s day and our first event was guess the 80s song. Steve's and Mr. Maes' classes tied in this competition. Next was best hair and best dress, Nick Ford won first and Cierra Tripp came in second place in best hair while Ellie Hackler won best dressed and Christina Ortega second place.
On Friday, red, white and blue day, the best designed and built recycled trophies were judged. This is
an event that had been worked on the whole week by each of the five advisories. Verna's advisory took first. We held a hot dog eating contest and a pie-eating contest. Finally all the points were tallied and Verna's advisory won over all! They will be presented with a plaque, with all their names on it that will sit on Verna's wall in perpetuity.
Congrats to our student of the week, Cierra Tripp, for always working hard and having a positive “can do” attitude. We will detail all the student council workers who hosted and did the work for each event in our next article along with winners we did not announce in this one.
Finally, we would like to welcome our new students; Ally Bachman, Joseph Maninger, David Spurlock and Robert Potter. We hope you all feel comfortable and have much success here!

There are eight weeks left in this school year and still so much to do.
We have just found out that every single one of our 45 or so graduates will get a unique graduation plaque thanks to a donation of $850 by Dr. Barry Munitz. This is the second year in a row that Dr. Munitz has shown such generosity to our school.
Dr. Munitz is the chair of the state's P-16 council as well as the president of California State University, Los Angeles. We are very grateful for his kindness and generosity.
Our in-house student design team will make up all these plaques for each individual student. In addition, Kodi Burr made a thank you plaque for Dr. Munitz with examples of last year's plaques included.
Mentioning “thanks,” we failed to thank Erika Streckfuss for filming the entire Odyssey of the Mind competitions and taking pictures of rehearsals and meetings and then ultimately putting in all the time to turn the media into a movie for all involved.
We would also like to thank Ellie Hackler for doing a wonderful job designing all of the prom tickets this year.
Congratulations to the both of you!
Spirit week is the week of April 19 and prom will follow on April 24. We will report on all of these exciting events in the next two issues of the Chronicle.
Everyone is getting in gear for graduation on June 9 as well, and we are all very proud of how hard our seniors have worked to be able to graduate this year. Although we will miss them all, it is good to see them heading off to bright futures.
Kodi Burr led yet another dinner on April 14 for the Lower Lake Community Action Group and according to students who worked the function, it went very well.
Thank you to all the students who put in hard work and thank you Kodi for being such a good leader. The workers were: Paul Silsby, Kara Boyce, Holly Brumbeck and Ellie Hackler. Thanks for all the effort.
Also on April 14, Carolynn Jarrett came to talk with students about the Children's Museum of Art and Science, and supporting the museum's events. We thank her for taking the time to come visit Carlé and talk with our students.
Kara Boyce recently designed and made thank you plaques for Bud, who built a bench and table for us out in the quad, and for Nicole Sherrill who is a substitute here at Carlé and filled in for Pat in her absence.
Our student of the week was Cierra Tripp because she has done very well on setting herself on track to graduate and maturing as a student here at Carlé. Good job, Cierra!
Finally, we would like to thank Johann Zimmerman and Adobe for donating five copies of CS4 master collection for five of our new computers in the media room. We appreciate all of the donations here at Carlé and Adobe has been especially generous with our school.
Kara is currently making thank you items for Johann and the Adobe Corp. They will say “made with love and PhotoShop by Carlé High School for Adobe.”
